OFFICE OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONER, 

COURT HOUSE, ROCHESTER. 

The Board of Supervisors of the County of Monroe, recognizing the 
importance of the educational work under the supervision of the School 
Commissioners, have assigned a room in the Court House for their use. 
This room is very conveniently located on the fourth floor, being a part 
of room used by Commissioners of Jurors. Trustees, teachers and others 
will find the Commissioner at the Eochester office, Saturdays, from 10 
A. M. to 1 P. M. 

The Commissioners invite a free use of the Eochester office, where 
you will always be welcome, and trust that this arrangement will aid in 
unifying the educational work of the county. 

The Eochester office is closed during July and August, except the 
Saturday following the annual school meeting. 



Those of us who have learned the art of making the best of things 
should extend it to the point of making the best of people. Look for 
their good points. Put the most charitable construction on their acts. 
Give them the credit for honest purposes even when they blunder. If 
your first impulse is to ascribe unworthy motives to those about you, it 
shows a serious weakness in yourself. You cannot make the most of life 
till j^ou have learned to make the best of others. — Anon.

a Regents' examination since November, 1904, will be accepted,, 
subject to the three year limitation. 

2. Those who hold teachers' elementary or academic cer- 
tificates may apply toward first grade certificates any subjects,

A copy of the following creed (printed in the Manual 
training room of the Rockford High School) was given every 
teacher in attendance at the last annual institute. Try to 
live it. 

A TEACHER'S CREED. 

I believe in boj's and girls, the men and women of a great to-mor- 
row; that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap. I believe in 
the curse of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, in the dignity of teach- 
ing, and the joy of serving another. I believe in wisdom as revealed in 
human lives as well as in the pages of a printed book; in lessons- 
taught not so much by precept as by example; in ability to work with 
the hands as well as to think with the head; in everything that makes 
life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the school-room, in the 
home, in daily life and out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in 
all ideals and distant hopes that, lure us on. I believe that every hour 
of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do. 
I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its; 
promises, and in the divine joy of living: Amen.

in all schools. It is hoped and expected that this course will 
be adopted generally as the basis for pre-academic or elemen- 
tary work. 

The eighth year of this course has been planned to meet 
the requirements of the preliminary academic examinations 
upon which admission to the High Schools is conditioned. The 
■courses laid down for the years previous to the eighth have 
been prepared with this end in view, while at the same time 
giving much latitude to the teachers of each grade, as local con- 
ditions may require. 

Examination questions upon the work covered by the fifth, 
sixth and seventh years of this course will be prepared by a 
committee of experienced and trustworthy commissioners, as- 
sisted by the Education Department, and will be furnished to 
all schools that desire them. These examinations will be held 
Tuesday and Wednesday, January 19 and 20, 1909, Tuesday 
and Wednesday, June 8 and 9, 1909. 

No questions will be sent out upon the work of the eighth 
year. Eighth year pupils in all schools will be expected to take 
the preliminary academic examinations in January and June, 
either at their home school or at any convenient school where 
these examinations are given. 

The Regents' examinations will be held in the following 
schools not maintaining academic departments : Rush, East 
Henrietta, West Henrietta. Pupils in the district schools near 
these places may take the examinations at the school most con- 
venient to get to, providing their teachers certify to the fact 
that they are qualified to write the examination. 



Let us tell you about how a district school teacher getting a salary 
of $400 took a commercial course and received a salary of $750. In-

TREE STANDING IN SCHOOL YAKD AT NO. 8, PENFIELD. 

What would be the effect if one tree like this could stand in each 
of the country school grounds of Monroe county, that to-day have no 
suitable shade trees? 

A good motto is: 

PLANT TREES. 

PAINT SCHOOL HOUSES. 

It is one of my well-established beliefs that school grounds should 
be made the most attractive places possible. Man's tastes and character 
are mostly fashioned by his surroundings, especially those incident to 
his early training. The better tendencies of mind and heart are drawn 
from environments of purity, taste and refinement. Beautiful surround- 
ings make the school itself more attractive. A beautiful school yard in 
city, village or country means improved home yards and lawns, and an 
added interest and more ready aid from the patrons. Pupils enlisted 
in the improvement and ornamentation of school grounds have in- 
culcated in them a spirit which makes them more loyal to the school 
and its interests, and affects them in citizenship when manhood and 
womanhood is reached.

NEW LIBRARY REGULATIONS, 



Money for library purposes is now distributed to districts 
not maintaining an academic department which raise for the 
same purpose, by tax or otherwise, a sum at least equal to that 
granted to the district by the State, on the basis of $20.00 for 
one teacher and $2.00 for each additional teacher employed for 
160 days in the preceding year. Applications will be acted on 
in the order received. None for less than $5.00 will be consid- 
ered. 

Blanks upon which applications are to be made will be 
furnished by School Commissioner. In making these applica- 
tions observe carefully the following points: 

1. Mail the application to the school commissioner. After 
making such records as he desires, the commissioner will for- 
ward the list to the Education Department for approval. The 
list as approved will be returned to the trustee. 

2. Approval of the purchase of books in sets will not be 
given. 

3. Approval of cyclopedias for common district schools 
will not be given. 

4. When the approved list is returned to the trustee, with 
the approval of the commissioner and the State Education De- 
partment, the books may be bought. After the books have 
heen bought and are actually in the school library insert in the 
column headed price paid, the actual cost of each book. 

5. Execute the affidavit on the back of the blank. Town 
■clerks and district clerks are not legally qualified to take the 
above mentioned affidavit. Mail the blank to the inspector of 
school libraries, Albany, N. Y. If the application is in proper 
form, an apportionment will be made on the first of the month 
after its receipt, and one-half the cost of the books bought will 
be forwarded to the county treasurer, who will send a check 
for the amount to the collector or treasurer of your school dis- 
trict. 

29 



USE AND CARE. 

The following directions as to use and care must be ob- 
served in all cases: (a) A teacher must be appointed as libra- 
rian by the trustees or Board of Education, and be responsible- 
for the proper care of all the books belonging- to the school 
library in a building, except where the collection is sufficient 
to warrant the employment of a paid librarian. Where there 
is but one teacher in a building, such teacher will be such libra- 
rian without appointment. 

(b) There should be a collection of books for ready ref- 
erence in every school room for the immediate and free use of 
teachers and pupils. 

(c) Where the collection of books belonging to a build- 
ing ]:ecomes large, such as are not needed for ready reference 
in the different rooms or schools may be gathered in one room 
under such arrangement for general use as may be made by the 
Board of Education or the teachers of the school. 

(d) Suitable cases must be provided for keeping books, 
in upright position and free from dust. 

(e) A record must be made in a book especially kept for 
the purpose of all additions to the library, and reports must 
be made as requested of the size, condition and extent of use 
of the library.

THE COMPULSORY EDUCATION LAW. 



AN ABSTRACT FOE THE INFORMATION OF THE PATRONS OF 
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 

1. Every child between eight and fourteen years of age 
ishall attend school every day on which the public school is 

in session from the first day of October to the following June. 

2. Every child between fourteen and sixteen years of age 
shall attend school every day during which school is in session 
:from the first of October to the following June, unless such 
child attended upon lawful instruction 130 days during the 12 
TQonths next preceding his 14th birthday or the 12 months next 
preceding his application for a certificate. 

Regular employment is held to be constant employment 
by the week, month or year, and may be by a parent as well as 
.any other person, but it must be actual employment. 

Every person in parental relation to any child between 
eight and sixteen years of age in proper mental and physical 
condition to attend school shall cause such child to so, as afore- 
said, attend upon instruction, or shall present to the school 
authorities of his city or district proof by affidavit that he is 
unable to compel such child to so attend. 

Any violation of the foregoing provisions shall be a mis- 
dem.eanor, punishable for the first ofiPense by a fine not exceed- 
ing five dollars, and for each subsequent offense by a fine not 
exceeding fifty dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding thirty 
days, or both such fine and imprisonment. 

The State Educational Department has decided that sick- 
ness of the child, severe indisposition in the family requiring 
the temporary services of the child, or some urgent necessity, 
shall be deemed the only legal excuse for absence or tardiness. 

Furthermore it has been held by the school authorities 
that the only lawful excuses for non-attendance are sickness, 
or mental derangement,or crippled condition of the child, or 
severe sickness in the family, or the prevalence in the family 

31 



of a contagious disease, or weather conditions making it un- 
safe for the child to be out. 

Trivial excuses can not be accepted. The reason in writing 
for absence or tardiness must be given. A claim of sickness 
must be supported by a physician's certificate, if demanded. 

No person can legally keep a child between eight and six- 
teen years of age from school to work or for any other service 
unless such .absence can be explained under one of the above 
named excuses. 

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to 
employ any child under fourteen years of age in any business 
or service whatever during any part of the term during which 
the public schools of the district in which the child resides are 
in session ; or to employ any child between fourteen and six- 
teen years of age who is not in possession of a school record 
certificate, giving the date of birth and residence of the child, 
as shown on the records of the school, the name of its parent, 
guardian or custodian ; and certifying that such child attended 
upon lawful instruction not less than 130 days during the 
twelve months next preceding his fourteenth birthday or the 
twelve months next preceding his application for such school 
record, is able to read and write simple, sentences in the Eng- 
lish language, has received during such period instruction in 
reading, writing, spelling, English grammar and geography 
and is familiar with the fundamental operations of arithmetic 
up to and including fractions ; and any person, firm or corpora- 
tion who shall employ any child contrary to the foregoing- 
provisions shall for each offense' forfeit and pay to the treas- 
urer of the city or village or the supervisor of the town in 
which such offense shall occur a penalty of fifty dollars.

EXPLANATIONS AND FORMS UNDER THE COMPULSORY LAW, 

When is an offense committed under this law? 

Whenever any person (whether parent or one in parental 
relation) having under his control a child between the age of 
eight and sixteen years, fails without legal excuse, after due 
notice has been given, for more than a single day in two con- 
secutive weeks, to send such child to school, an offense is com- 
mitted and an investigation and prosecution should follow. 
More than two unexcused absences in four consecutive weeks 
should be regarded as a violation of the statute. 

What substitutes does the law allow in lieu of attendance 
at a public school? 

If a child attends a private school during the period the 
public school is in session, and is instructed in at least six com- 
mon school branches equally as well as children of the same 
age are instructed in the public school maintained in such com- 
munity, then such child is not required to attend the public 
school. 

Who has jurisdiction in cases of violation of this law? 

Justices of the peace and police magistrates. 

Are the proceedings taken for a violation of the compul- 
sory law, a civil action or a criminal prosecution? 

The proceeding is a criminal prosecution. 

What is the offense? 

The offense is a misdemeanor. 

Who should make the complaint? 

The attendance officer should make complaint, but if he 
fails to act, the school board or sole trustee may make com- 
plaint before any justice in the county. 

35 



Who shall serve the warrant of arrest? 

Any duly elected constable may serve the warrant in such 
proceedings. 

Is the accused entitled to trial by jury? 

The accused is entitled to trial by jury, if he so elects. 

Does the form of proceeding in a justice's court in a case 
of violation of the compulsory law differ from that of any other 
criminal action in such a court? 

The form of procedure is exactly the same as in any other 
criminal prosecution. 

What are the duties of teachers under this statute? 

Teachers are required. (1) To keep an accurate record 
of the attendance of all children between eight and sixteen 
years of age; (2) to notify attendance officers and trustees 
promptly of violations of the law; (3) to furnish from school 
records documentary evidence necessary to a proper prosecu- 
tion of the case before a justice. 



THE NEW LAW IN RELATION TO THE ERECTION AND CON- 
STRUCTION OF SCHOOL HOUSES. 

To School Officers: 

Your attention is hereby called to the amendment made 
during the recent session of the Legislature to the laws of 1894, 
chapter 556, title 7, article 2, section 17. The amended form 
reads as follows: 

"No school house shall hereafter be erected in any city 
of the third class or in any incorporated village or school dis- 
trict of this state, and no addition to a school building in any 
such place shall hereafter be erected the cost of which shall 
exceed $500, until the plans and specifications for the same 
shall have been submitted to the Commissioner of Education 
and his approval indorsed thereon. Such plans and specifica- 
tions shall show in detail the ventilation, heating and lighting 
of such buildings. Such Commissioner of Education shall not 
approve any plans for the erection of any school building or 

36 



addition thereto unless the same shall provide at least 15 
square feet of floor space and 200 cubic feet of air space for 
each pupil to be accommodated in each study or recitation 
room therein, and no such plans shall be approved by him un- 
less provision is made therein for assuring at least 30 cubic feet 
of pure air every minute per pupil, and the facilities for ex- 
hausting the foul or vitiated air therein shall be positive and 
independent of atmospheric changes. No tax voted by a dis- 
trict meeting or other competent authority in any such city, 
village or school district exceeding the sum of $500 shall be 
levied by the trustees until the Commissioner of Education 
shall certify that the plans and specifications for the same 
comply with the provisions of this act. All school houses 
for which plans and detailed statements shall be filed and ap- 
proved, as required by this act, shall have all halls, doors, 
stairways, seats, passageways and aisles and all lighting and 
heating appliances and apparatus arranged to facilitate egress 
in case of fire or accident and to afl^ord the requisite and prop- 
er accommodations for public protection in such cases. All exit 
doors shall open outwardly, and shall, if double doors be used, 
be fastened with movable bolts operating simultaneously by 
one handle from the inner face of the door. No staircase shall 
be constructed with wider steps in lieu of a platform, but shall 
be constructed with straight runs, changes in direction being 
made by platforms. ■ No door shall open immediately upon a 
flight of stairs, but a landing at least the width of the door 
shall be provided between such stairs and such doorway." 

"Section 2. This act shall take efl^ect immediately." 
The following points should be specially observed: 

1. The plans and specifications must be submitted in 
duplicate, the original set to be returned after the indorse- 
ment of approval, the duplicate to be retained on file at this 
Department. 

2. The plans and specifications must show in detail the 
ventilation, heating and lighting of the building and must be 
accompanied by a guaranty from the contractor that the sys- 

37 



tern of ventilation described will provide at least 30 cubic feet 
of air every minute for each pupil. It will be necessary to give 
the size of the windows, distance from top of window to ceiling 
and number of panes in sash. 

3. At least 15 square feet of floor space and 200 cubic 
feet of air space for each pupil to be accommodated in each 
.study or recitation room must be provided. In this connection 
it will be necessary not only to state the size of the rooms 
(length, breadth and height), but also to give the number of 
individual desks to be placed in the room. « 

The plans and specifications must clearly show that proper 
provision is made in all respects "to facilitate egress in cases 
«f fire or accident and to afford requisite and proper accommo- 
dation for public protection in such cases." 

To minimize the number of changes and avoid unnecessary 
correspondence the following explanatory statements are of- 
fered : 

The windows in all study rooms and recitation rooms 
should be so arranged that the main light will come from the 
pupils' left and the supplemental light from the rear. The 
windows should be grouped together as nearly as possible 
on the pupils' left so that the light may be massed, thereby 
furnishing a comparatively even distribution of light and min- 
imizing areas of light and shadow. 

The windows should extend as near to the ceiling as the 
principles of construction will admit and should be without 
transoms or unnecessary frame work. 

Any considerable area on the side to the left of the pupils 
that is without window surface should be opposite the space 
in front or in the rear of the pupils' desks. 

In this connection I might add that the ratio of window 
surface to floor surface should be one to five. If the main light 
comes from the north or from a side of the building which is 
well shaded, the ratio should be one to four. 

As far as possible the rooms and windows should be so 
.arranged that the aisles may run the long way of the room. 

In the primary grades the blackboards should be placed 

38 



:26 inches from the floor, in the intermediate grades 30 inches 
and in the grammar grades 36 inches. Each blackboard should 
he provided with a trough at the bottom, which should have 
an open woven wire cover on hinges. 

Special cloak rooms should he provided, which should be 
thoroughly heated and ventilated. 

A soft color should be used in finishing the walls — a light 
greenish gray. The ceiling should be white. The window 
shades should correspond in color with the walls.

TEACHERS. 

The teachers in the commissioner ilistrict number among them some 

41 



of the best talent in the State, and without exception are earnest and 
enthusiastic, striving to make use of everj^ available aid for the im- 
provement of their work. In the statistical table it will be noticed that 
there is but one teacher holding a temporary license, and only two 
were issued last year. It has been my policy to discourage young people 
from applying for the temporary license, and to encourage them to 
earn a certificate before attempting to teach. Several teachers holding 
Training Class certificates have entered the examinations for the First 
Grade certificate, and others are trying for the State Life certificate. 

PUPILS. 

Among the 6,000 pupils of the schools of the First Commissioner dis- . 
trict are to be found a large number of as bright and interesting children 
as can be found in the State, — children entitled to the very best that 
can be given them educationally. I find them almost everywhere at- 
tentive to their work, orderly and polite. However, I find some lacking 
in the power of expression, teachers should make every recitation an 
exercise in English. The importance of this cannot be over estimated, 
as it is in the written work especially that the rural children fail when 
they come up for the examination for entrance to the High schools. 

TRUSTEES. 

I wish to thank the trustees of the Commissioner district for their 
hearty co-operation. In almost every instance trustees have followed out 
every suggestion made for the betterment of the schools, and have 
discharged their duty to the schools and their duties in relation to the 
commissioner 's ofiice with promptness and accuracy. In almost every 
instance they have realized the importance of their position, and have 
taken interest in the welfare of the schools in their charge. 

ATTENDANCE OFFICERS. 

The position of attendance officer under the existing compulsory 
law is a delicate one, and one that makes the prosecution of his duty 
under many circumstances a most disagreeable task, yet the attendance 
officer should consider these things before taking the appointment, and 
if he does not feel that he can carry out the law, he should decline 
the position. The fear of forcing attendance is a foolish one, and one 
or two examples of offenders brought to court would end all trouble in 

42 



this regard in any town. One half of the i^ublic money of a town may 
be withheld by the Commissioner of Education through the failure of 
an attendance officer to do his duty, or through the failure of the town 
board to appoint a competent man. 

THE PEOPLE. 

An examination of the school registers of the district shows that 
there has been an increased number of visits to the schools by parents 
of the pupils during the past year. This is an encouraging sign, and it 
is hoped that school visitation by the parents, those who should be the 
most interested in the school, may become a general custom, as such 
a manifestation of interest will help the cause of education in the rural 
districts immeasureably. It will improve the quality of the teaching, 
encourage the teacher, the work of the children will be improved, the 
people will get an idea first hand of the needs of the schools, parents, 
teachers, pupils will be brought into closer relation and sympathy, a 
condition which is greatly needed.

Tir\f\JZ^Ci for School 
-DvJWJVO Libraries 



OUR library department is in care of a compe- 
tent, well informed specialist, who may be 
freely consulted at any time on questions relating to 
books for school libraries. Trustees and teachers in 
Western New York will find it interesting and profit- 
able to confer on this subject with the head of our 
department, either by personal call or by mail. 

THIS is the place to say that our prices on books 
are not the same as published prices. We are 
extensive book purchasers ; our facilities for buying 
are world-wide ; hence, we quote the very lowest 
prices on every order, whether it be for a thousand, a 
hundred, or only one book. It is a matter of com- 
mon sense to get our quotations for your own protec- 
tion against misrepresentation or imposition. 

TRUSTEES who buy books from us know the 
purchase amount will be duplicated from the 
state fund, because we sell to schools such books 
only as we know are approved by the state department. 



Write for lists of books for grammar school grades. If you are inter- 
ested in any branch of literature or books on particular subjects, aFk

Schoolroom Floors 
Without Dust 

Such a menace to the health of scholars is the dust which arises from 
schoolroom floors that the abatement of the dust evil in schoolrooms is 
just as essential as proper ventilation. The activity of scholars keeps 
the dust in constant motion. To overcome this contamination of the 
atmosphere the floor should be treated with 

STANDARD 
FLOOR DRESSING 

Exhaustive tests show that wherever it is used the amount of circulating 
dust is reduced Eleven-Twelfths — the danger from disease contagion caused 
by the dust naturally being reduced in like proportion. 

As dust is such a potent factor in the spread of diseases such as 
Tuberculosis, Typhoid Fever, Asiatic Cholera, Erysipelas, Diphtheria, 
Yellow Fever and Pneumonia, the advantages of Standard 
Floor Dressing will be at once apparent. The value of 
the dressing is realized when the preservation of the 
flooring and the saving in labor is understood. The 
dressing pays for itself many times over. 

Standard Floor Dressing is sold everywhere in kegs 
and in cans of varying capacity. Three or four applications 
a year give best results. 

Patented Standard Oiler makes process of application 
easy and economical. 

We will apply Standard Floor Dressing, without charge, 
to the floor of one room or hall in any Hospital, School, or 
other public building, to demonstrate that all we claim for it is 
true. Standard Floor Dressing is not intended for use on var- 
^nished, waxed or polished floors or for use in private houses. 
Write for testimonials and for interesting reports from 
medical authorities on "Dust and its Dangers. "

SPECIALIZATION 

In my office the work is divided into parts, and specialists are 
employed on each part.^ — You know what specialization does for 
every branch of science and commerce. It raises the standard 
of quality and lowers the standard of price. That is just what 
it does for dentistry. 

Specialists do difficult things best, because much doing of one 
thing makes skill. Specialists do difficult things cheapest, 
because skill saves that which is money — time. 

In recent years dentistry has grown from a trade to a science. 
It must now be classed among the difficult things — so difficult 
that no man can hope to master the half of it. 

CONSULTATION 

You are invited to come in, have your teeth examined and get 
an estimate of the cost of any dental work which you may need. 
Investigate my methods, compare my prices with those of others 
who do first-class work, examine my equipment, and then decide 
whether you are willing to make me your dentist. 

My 32 page booklet, "Dentistry by Specialists," giving prices, etc., will 
be sent to any address on request.

Dear Madam : 

In answer to your anxious query, "Where shall I get my suit and gowns 
made this fall ?" we beg the privilege of aiding you in this most perplexing 
question. 

We "hitch our wagon to a star" and that particular star is a garment 
which embodies the most graceful lines, perfect fit and nobby, yet becom- 
ing style which can be created. We study the taste and requirements of 
each customer and do our best to please. 

After years of experience, however, we find that satisfaction cannot be 
obtained from poor material. That we may be sure of the quality, we 
now have at our command an elegant assortment of the newest shades in 
dressgoods and suitings, both domestic and imported. 

We desire very much to add you to our list of customers who leave us 
with happy faces and the assurance that they will "come again". 
Yours very truly, 

Mrs. Bella Madden, 
Charles A. Lare.
